Definitions

• the present finding relates to a crown sizer according to the general part in claim 1.
• crown sizers are well known in many sectors, in particular in retail sales domains, for application on products in order to identify them.
• crown sizers of known type present the problem of being easy to detach from their positioning seat.
• Such easy removal involves the risk of having objects lacking crown sizer, as well as the ease with which certain goods can be exchanged with others by ill-intentioned persons during warehouse stock management or in the stores where said goods are on sale, a fact that is more possible in particular when the crown sizer is applied to clothes hangers in general, for garment size identification marking.
• crown sizers have been realised which are assembled integral to the support, therefore making it very difficult to detach and remove them, but also thus compromising the entirety of the support, to the point of making re-use impossible.
• the object of the present finding is to realise a crown sizer of the type per se known that is assembled by inserting it on the hook and that it is then co-axially positioned with the pawl protruding from the arched structure of the clothes hanger and which forms the reinforcing base of the hook itself, said hanger thus resulting free of the problems described above.
• crown sizer composed of an encasing structure in a prismatic form, with both bases open, respectively, the lower base in order to receive the pawl at the base of the hook, and the upper base for passing the hook itself therethrough, said crown sizer being characterised in that the interior is configured with one or more elastic protrusions which during the operational stage, penetrate inside the pawl of the hook or arched structure in order to realise a clip attachment with said crown sizer.
• Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a hanger in operational stage
• Figures 5 and 6 represent two views, perspective and cross-sectioned, respectively, of a first embodiment of the crown sizer according to the finding;
• Figures 9 and 10 represent two views, perspective and cross-sectioned, respectively, of a second embodiment of the crown sizer according to the finding;
• Figures 11 and 12 represent two views in detail of the crown sizer according to figure 9 in operational stage;
• Figures 13 and 14 represent two views, perspective and cross-sectioned, respectively, of a third embodiment of the crown sizer according to the finding;
• Figure 15 represents a view in detail of the crown sizer according to figure 13 in operational stage
• Figures 16 to 18 represent the views, perspective, from above, and cross-sectioned, respectively, of a fourth embodiment of the crown sizer according to the finding;
• Figures 19 and 20 represent cross-sectioned views, respectively of front and side views of the crown sizer according to figure 16 in operational stage;
• Figures 21 to 23 represent the cross-sectioned views, respectively perspective, front and side views of a fifth embodiment of the crown sizer according to the finding;
• Figures 24 to 26 represent the cross-sectioned views, respectively front and side views of the crown sizer according to figure 21 in operational stage;
• Figures 27 to 29 represent the views respectively perspective, front and side views of a first rotation- proof form of the crown sizer
• Figures 30 to 32 represent the views respectively perspective, front and side views of a second rotation- proof form of the crown sizer.
• the crown sizer 1 is positioned e base of the hook 2 after it has been passed through the hook itself, in a manner so that it encases the pawl 3 that protrudes from the arched structure 4 of the clothes hanger, where it acts as a size identification marker.
• the crown sizer 1 is attached directly on the pawl 3 by means of two teeth 5 opposite each other, present inside the encasing structure of the crown sizer itself, and positioned in a manner so that in operational stage, said teeth are inserted inside two corresponding slots 6 cut into the pawl itself.
• a second embodiment of the finding is adapted for clothes hangers where the pawl 3 is equipped on both sides with reinforcing fins 7, so that the crown sizer 1 is attached to the sides of the pawl itself, by means of one or more teeth 8, present inside the encasing structure of the crown sizer and positioned in a manner so that in operational stage, said teeth are inserted under said fins.
• the crown sizer 1 is attached to the arched structure 4 of the hanger, by means of one or more flexible tangs 9, obtained inside the encasing structure of the crown sizer itself, and which protrude slightly from the lower base so that in operational stage, the toothed ends 10 of the tangs are inserted inside corresponding seats 10.1 cut on the neck of said arched structure and positioned on each side of the pawl 3.
• the tooth 5 presents a spire-shaped section where the vertex is defined by two sloping planes in relation to the horizontal plane, in order to facilitate both the attachment and detachment stages in the slot seat 6, when the size-marker wedge clamp needs to be removed from the hanger, for example, for recycling.
• the surfaces of the tooth 5 and of the pawl 6, respectively 5.1, and 6.1, which during operational stage result as facing each other mutually, are set in a sloping position so that by varying the angle, it is possible to increase or reduce the force required to remove the crown sizer and this possibility is particularly important to guarantee protection against tampering on the part of small children.
• the aforesaid seat 6 can also be configured open on one side 6.1, or configured open on both sides 6.2, in order to receive teeth of varying widths of any type.
• the upper portion 3.2 of the pawl is configured in a slightly wedge-shaped form, by the creation of sloping surfaces 14, on which the teeth 5 are engaged in a sliding action.
• the slots 15 are positioned in front of the fins 11 and are arranged rotated by 90° in relation to the slots 6 described previously (See Fig. 19) .
• the upper portion 3.2 of pawl 3 is equipped with sloping surfaces 16 on which the ends of the fins 11 are engaged to slide before they are fitted in the corresponding slots 15.
• the centring action of the crown sizer is obtained by foreseeing that the aforesaid tang has a width at least equal to the width of the pawl itself, in order to realise walls 17.1, that form a frontal contact zone, acting as a guide and rotation-proof element for the aforesaid crown sizer.
• the centring action of the crown sizer is obtained by realising side walls 17.2, which prevent crown sizer 1 from rotating.
• crown sizers based on the prismatic configuration of the crown sizer and the type of support, however, these remain within the context of the claims defined below.
